I was SO happy to read that Charles Laquidara will be heard again on Boston radio!!! Starting some time in February, he'll be on WBOS (92.9FM) 9am to 10am, Monday thru Friday. During each show, he'll be playing his favorite 9 album cuts from a certain year. If I'm not mistaken, he was a big Zeppelin fan, so yeah. Finally, some radio worth listening to!

I. can. NOT. wait!!!

Seriously, this guy opened my eyes musically by introducing me to so many songs I'd never have heard otherwise. Man, the nights my friends and I spent partying, or just staying up talking and talking, figuring out all the secrets to the universe, right thru to sunrise and then Charles would come on and play some weird stuff and we'd...um...well, we'd listen, yeah, that's what we'd do, curled up around Andrea's pool, or some guy's front yard, or on the beach, or just riding around in the car. I started listening to him in 1972...and somehow, I just thought he'd be there forever. Then he broke my heart and retired and compounded the broken heart with a little jealousy, as he moved to Hawaii (lucky bastid).

sigh...welcome back, Chuck!

hey, isn't this the guy you spoke of and emailed when you went to hawaii a few years ago?

wow, he's got a great fan in you ;)

Reminds me of a song from Bruce!!!! (of course!)

The song "Growin Up"....
"I swear I found the key to the universe
in the engine of an OLD parked car"

Happy 2006! I am back from vacation, saw HP films 2 and 3, both in dvd and on tv this past holiday and thought about your blog picture!!!! My son has all books but I only read nr. 1. Guess what I am doing next. Better late than never!

Will he be in Boston or syndication from Hawaii...I thought he was in Hawaii? Nice site btw.
